Now off we go to the Festival of Finishing!
Today we have a very manly kimono, modeled by the ever cooperative Cocoa Bear.
Here’s a bear-free shot so you can see the crochet neckline and stripe detail.
True, it’s not technically a kimono, not by a long shot, but the design was inspired by this little sweater…
The Mason Dixon baby kimono I knit for Baby Gleek, who will be joining us verrrrry soon.
For the Baby Gleek Kimono and the modified Manly Kimono I used the same yarn, Lily Elite Cotton, knit on #7 needles. To create the modified Manly Kimono I just followed the Mason Dixon directions, stopping at the bottom of the V on each side (21 stitches), then joining the two sides together to create a one-piece front.

I'm so happy for you! that pic of the "to-be-finished" pile is dwindling!!!
Ooh, I love he "boy" version of the kimono. And Oedipus is priceless...maybe Overheard in NY-worthy?
I love that green kimono! Well, of course, I seem to like anything green... but I love the non-traditional baby things, and that's cute and girly without being the standard pale pink.
Mr Bear definitely looks comfy and stylin'
